February, a month of love and warmth, boasts Amethyst as its birthstone—a tradition deeply rooted in history and culture.
The specific connection between Amethyst and February is less explicitly defined in ancient texts, and there are multiple interpretations of how this association came to be. However, some theories and historical beliefs provide insight into why Amethyst is linked to February:
1. Ancient Greek Mythology:
The term "amethyst" finds its roots in the Greek word "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated." In Greek mythology, Amethyst was thought to offer protection against drunkenness and was associated with Dionysus, the god of wine.
Wearing Amethyst was believed to prevent intoxication and promote mental clarity. As February is a month associated with love and is the period of transition from winter to spring, the protective and clear-minded qualities attributed to Amethyst in Greek mythology align with the themes of sobriety and clarity, making it a fitting birthstone for this month.
2. Astrological and Zodiac Connections:
Astrologically, Amethyst is often tied to the zodiac sign of Pisces, spanning from late February to early March. It is believed to enhance the intuition and spiritual connection of individuals born under this sign.
3. Saint Valentine & Cupid’s Bow:
Legend suggests that St. Valentine once wore an amethyst ring engraved with Cupid's portrait. This tale might contribute to the tradition of Amethyst being the birthstone for February, as it signifies love among its various believed properties.
